The Importance of Sovereign Clouds

Via sovereign clouds, organizations can ensure data safety and compliance with regional and national requirements, Tan wrote on Feb. 9.

To that point, VMware delivers sovereign cloud capabilities, which Tan also wrote about in November. That’s when he said, “Broadcom sees cloud sovereignty as extremely important to the future of data management, and we see VMware, with its multicloud strategy and offerings, as being a key enabler in the adoption of sovereign clouds,” said Tan.

On Feb. 9, he followed up that comment with this, as European regulators keep Broadcom-VMware on hold:

“It is critical for enterprises, especially governments, to maintain flexibility to move data between deployment environments, while running workloads across these multiple environments,” Tan wrote. “Governments moving to multicloud will need the tools to effectively manage their data and run applications in different cloud environments to meet different regulatory and other requirements.”
